Developing Your Persuasive Speech Thesis: Be Accurate, Be Clear, Be Engaging

Now that you’ve committed to your persuasive speech purpose, have read how to create a thesis and taken the quiz, it’s time for you now to formulate your own thesis statement.

Remember, the Purpose Statement you have already created is designed to help you focus your goal…. what you want to do in your speech…. to inform or to persuade. In our case here, we are persuading.

Thesis Statements, however, guide speakers as they develop the details of their speech AND guide audience members as they listen to the speech being presented.

Watch the following “micro-lecture” for a quick “step-by-step” process of developing your Persuasive Thesis Statement:

You’re now ready to create and post your thesis to this week’s Discussion board.

Remember: Be Clear, Be Accurate, Be Engaging.

Once you’ve posted, make sure you review as many of your classmates’ thesis statements as possible. Provide comments to at least 3. Can you make suggestions to help your peers clarify their thesis? What ideas might they have for you? Stay open-minded. Work together. Help each other out. That’s what a community of learners needs to do.
